A Tribute to Those Still Living
Description
Page Dukes shares a tribute for those still living during the Mourning Our Losses virtual vigil, "Marking a Year of Loss Behind Bars."
The tribute reads:
"Good mourning, comrades, siblings in arms- good arms that hold us up, not hold us down. Your arms that fold laundry and push carts and scrub baseboards and swing mops and all without pay, but come to rest on each other’s shoulders and slap cards on tables and embrace on the walk in defiance. You woke up this mourning in grace, whether in fear or calm, knowing the odds against you even before you read the daily numbers. Powerlessness over the PIC is not complete. There is power to be found even in the midst of suffering and neglect. We are responsible, not simply for our individual redemption, but for the redemption of this soul-sick nation. Once we are free, are we then really free? Can liberation really be dependent on bondage? We have been bound physically, now economically, now politically we must become activated. Only organization and education and solidarity and will empower us. May you be happy and joyful where you are May you be healthy in heart and in body May you know even now what it means, what it’s worth, how it feels to be Free."
